Refreshingly packed with info, this article. Gets right to the point with the interesting facts rather starting off with the typical "One day as I slowly walked through a corn field and the pitter patter of rain drops danced along the bill of my cap..."
The article starts off with "Charles Manson, one of the most notorious murderers of the 20th century,...", but Manson did not perform the murders.
Is it just me, or does the world feel lighter?
Thanks, death penalty opponents, for insisting that scarce budgets be spent keeping him alive all this time.
Life in jail is cheaper than the DP's process with all appeals, death row security etc.
Also awaiting a natural (slower, more decrepit, more meaningless and insignificant) passing is more punishment than a quick end.
Even more so for a rock-star fool like Manson.
I used to be pro death penalty but now they just need to sit and rot. With the caveat that now backwards legislation can ever get them out.
